Prologue We ended the last session at the sanctum in the north east. After receiving visions the knights were not unified on their next goal. After some back and forth the Riddle knight prevailed in convincing the Company that the greatest threat was on the grey island to the west. We agreed that it made the most sense to start the session the moment the Company approached the island. We did do a short travel montage. The vessel was a decommissioned viking war vessel with antique round shields mounted on the ship's railing. The shields had seen better days. The Riddle knight managed to trade an old broken shield for s...

Prologue In an ongoing attempt to give the players more agency in the flow of the game I started the session with a recap of the last one-shot (The Company fought the Spectre whilst travelling to the seer in the icy north). Then I asked them what they wished to do during this session. Nothing too grandiose, they wished to continue where the last group left off. I still don't love how much of my precious one-shot time this player granted freedom consumes, but I feel it does  make the game way more fun. Chillbane Motte - 014.004 The session kicked off the day after the ship arrived at the small harbour. The Leaf Knight and the Riddle Knight were ab...

Mythic Bastionland The Leaf Knight The Weaver Knight The Shield Knight Myths The Child The Imp The Lizard The Beast The Bat The Inferno Prologue The Weaver Knight made an early exit last session, so this session started with the vision he got from drinking the funky tea. The Weaver Knight wanted to know what was causing this greying of the lands. So in his vision the Weaver Knight was running around an underground chamber (a dark cave) he knew he was looking for something, but knew not what. In his frantic search he was heating up and sweating. His heart was beating against his ribs. Then he noticed a single beam of light falling in from above and in that moment a wave of calm washed over. Alas this was short-lived as his heart exploded. Obvious right? Sudden Storm - 003.003 The Knights met up just outside the outpost. Some brief pleasantries were exchanged and onwards they went. At Sudden Storm the Company received a...

Two Shot Open Table Play Report - Part I Mythic Bastionland The Leaf Knight The Weaver Knight The Shield Knight Myths The Child The Imp The Lizard The Beast The Bat The Inferno Prologue I wanted to play a game for some people in the Dungeons&Dyslexia discord server ( YouTube ). There had been a lively conversation about Pendragon and as a Mythic Bastionland-enjoyer I just couldn't let that slide. In a recent conversation with Horst (of  Black City Gauntlet  fame) I was shamed for making decisions where the dice and/or players would generate more interesting and surprising results. I tried to lean into that style of play slightly more than what I generally prefer. I would usually curate the myths somewhat, but for this game I rolled up 6 myths and placed them randomly. I was tempted to remove The Inferno which I had recently ran, but the potential judgement of Horst loomed great in my mind and I decided against it. Anyway there is a substantial chance that specific myth isn...
